Gadget Gifts Galore at Pepcom's Holiday Spectacular
Though Christmas is ways away it's never too soon to think about the perfect gift for that tech expert who has (and knows) everything. Here's a couple gadgets featured in Pepcom's Holiday Spectacular! in NYC this week.
OQO: Forget cell phones and PDAs with their tiny screens when it comes to surfing the web and checking email. Now you can carry the 5-inch OQO model 02 Windows PC in your jacket pocket. As the world's smallest PC it comes with built-in wireless, an illuminated thumb keyboard, TouchScrollers for the screen, and 120 gigs of hard drive. Starts at $1299. It's one of those presents you might want to keep for yourself.

Sonos: Know anyone with a 32 room mansion? Want to impress your friend Hue Hefner perhaps? His house seems big enough and in need of Sonos, a wireless, multi-room digital music system controlled by a single remote. Each room gets its own little white box that picks up your computer's playlist and SIRIUS Satellite Radio. Play country in your kitchen and rap music in your bathroom and save the classical for the bedroom. Starting price for two boxes (in case you're in a two-bedroom) is $999.00, but Sonos can provide up to 32 boxes.

Solio: One of the coolest new gadgets I came across is the sun-powered device charger by Solio. It's a hybrid that can power-up using your traditional power cord but if you're on the go, say, in the middle of the Himalayas and your phone could use some juice, then just stick Solio under the sun and plug in your cell phone. One model is even 100% biodegradable. It's the perfect gift to show you care, about the planet.

Shutterfly: Want to surprise your kids with their very own picture book staring them? Or are you about to tie the knot and want to save money on an expensive wedding album so you can take that around the world honey moon? Then head on over to Shutterly and use your own pictures to publish your very own story book. Turn around time is only 3 days plus the time it takes for shipping and if you order more than 20 books you can score yourself a deal. Prices begin in the $30 range.

SpinVox.com: For that blogger in your life, make her or his life easier with SpinMyBlog, an online service from SpinVox that lets you dictate your blog via voicemail. Posts appear online in minutes. So goodbye keyboard, hello immediate gratification!

MobiTV.com: And there's no better accessory in this age of good television than MobiTV for your phone. Now your cell phone can give you tons of popular networks, from MSNBC to ESPN to The Discovery Channel (a personal favorite). This Emmy Award winning service is available through wireless carriers like Sprint, AT&T and more. Check the MobiTV website for service capability to see if you can spoil yourself and that special TV junkie with an upgrade.
